Hall, got very warm last Tuesday while
at work handling heavy machinery =.
He went and drank two glasses OF ice
water from which he suffered intensely

overheated.

On Wednesday q man and woman
from Logan were in town with a young
wolf, which they were trying to sell for
$3.50. Some of the boys kindly vOlun-
teered their services to help the wolf
man to close a trade with Treasurer
Nipps. They represented that the ami
nal was a young bear-a cinnamon
bear-but they couldn't fool our County
Treasurer, He dOtes on bears, Nipps
does, but he knew bear from a scraW-
ny, yellow-unged, half-starVed prairie
wolf.
Mr.. j. NJ. VI arner, of Prairie View,
while here celebrating, made this office
q call, and renewed his subscription to
the HERALD. He says the chinch bugs
are pretty bad in mis- locality, but are
not hurting his crop much. He says
that this is emphatically a corn county
and farmers ought to quit trying to
raise Wheat-spring wheat especially.
Mr.. w. has been in this county fourteen
years, came from Page county, Iowa,
and says he much prefers this to Iowa.
He expects to raise a fine crop of corn
this year.
q. \. Spauldlng & Co. made an i'm
portant purchase last week during the
races. It consisted in buying of Mr..
ID. h. Arbuckle a fine trOttiug mare
known IS the ''New Hampton Girl. "
The price paid we believe, was $4,000,
which Mr.. Spaulding regards as very
cheap. Her weight is only about 800
pounds. She can 90 In > 40 quite
nicely. She is thoroughly standard
bred, which of course means a fine ped
igree. Her purchasers bought her we
believe for brooding purposes.
On Tuesday last, Elihu Hill received
a letter from Pueblo, Colorado, to the
effect that his son, Ehhu i. Hill, Jr.,
had had a long and severe attack of
mountain fever, and there was no hope
Of his recovery. Mr.. Hill expects to
hear of his death and of the remains
being sent TO Phillipsburg. The son
was q master mechanic, who has been
superintendent OF machine shops, and
was prominent in his profession.
LATER "A telegram has been re-
ceiYed since the above was put in type,
saying Jay IS alive and improving.
Several weeks ago a patent right man
from Hebron, Neb., sold to j. NJ. Moss
of this place, some TERRITORY for his
patent, receiving from Moss a deed TO
some Phillipsburg lots. Moss became
dissatisfied and had the patent right
agent arrested at Hebron under the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The trial has not yet taken
place. Moss considers he was swim
died. The machine the agent was sell
ing the territory for, is a ''pOWer' to
run wind-mills and other light machin-
cry by winding it up somewhat as one
would wind a clock run by weights.
Railing at competitive towns in the
same county sometimes comes home in
a manner not at all agreeable. We un-
deTstand that after the pacing race for
200 had been arranged at kirWin,
the parties owning the horses cOnclud-
ed to visit Philiipsburg and look over
the race course at that point. But
Pmllipsburg was represented by the
kirWin sports as being q little, old tum-
ble-dOWn town with about $50 inhabi-
tantss etc. The hOrsemen concluded to
90, however, and see for themselves.
The result was that Phillipsburg pre-
scented so much better attractions in the
matter of track and accommodations
that the race at Kirwin was declared
